1 [To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.] As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living *God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
